Exchange Server 2007 Rollups Existing for SP1 & non-SP version

So Everyone,

Question: which is the latest Update Rollup for Exchange Server 2007, 5 or 7? That was last night at the Exchange User Group meeting (nyexug.com). We had a discussion of the latest update for Exchange Server 2007. Some folks said roll-up 7 was the latest, and I said roll-up 5 was the latest. Turns out everyone was right. How can that be you may ask? Exchange Server 2007 is a DIFFERENT product than Exchange Server 2007 SP1 so they have different updates. Which explains why the tech who installed a rollup for non-SP1 broke his SP1 Exchange. He smartly do a snapshot before upgrading and disconnected the server from the network, so he quickly reverted to the pre-patch state. So, pay attention which updates are for your version of Exchange.

As of December 10, 2008, here are the latest updates for each version of Exchange Server 2007. I don't know why folks would stay on base version 2007 due to all the gains in SP1, but obviously many folks are and MS is paying attention to them.

Exchange Server 2007 - Update Rollup 7
